Gap

Summer season is almost over and stores are already showcasing beautiful fall clothing but for me, living here in Orlando, it will be a long time before I am ready to put away my shorts and all my summer garments. I really love wearing shorts when it is super hot outside (like now!). I wear them pretty much everywhere I go even when I go out to dinner with my better half at a nice restaurant or to meet friends for happy hour. I have shorts on every color of the rainbow but my favorite ones are this pair of super bright yellow shorts that I have had for three years. The color goes pretty much with anything but I really love how it looks with this white and blue gingham shirt I got on sale in the men’s department at the Gap store near my home. As you can see, I wore heels with this outfit. I wanted to achieve a dressier look so wearing heels seemed to be the way to go for me:-)

Hope your week is going amazing and that you find yourself feeling wonderful too! Believe it or not, I am still recovering from jet lag. Can’t seem to get back to my normal sleeping schedule. I guess that happens when you we get older:-) Blessings to all of you!

Hello my lovely readers! The weekend is over and we find ourselves at the beginning of a new week. For many of us, Mondays can be super challenging as they may represent the start of a busy and hectic week with little or no time for ourselves to do the things we really love. So, how can we overcome those energy-sucking “Ugh, it is Monday” feelings and feel the joy that is always present at the beginning of every start?

5 rituals I practice to overcome the Monday Blues

1. Count my blessings – I try to count my blessings all the time, but let’s be real; we all forget to do that. For this reason I chose Monday to be the day when, as soon as I wake up and before getting out of bed, I count my blessings and give thanks for everything I have. The act of giving thanks is super uplifting and fills me with the energy I need to go through the entire week.

2. Review my goals and resolutions – Remember those New Year goals and resolutions we made about a month and half ago? If you really meant everything you wrote down on your list, then Monday can be the perfect day of the week to re-visit each one of them and make sure you are on the right track.

3. I look at Mondays as the start of my “second chances” – We all love second chances and yes, we all deserve them too, so what a better way to look at Mondays as the day where we get to start all over again. Whether I fell off my exercising habits or spent the prior week in a really b****y mood , it makes me super happy to know that on Mondays I get a second opportunity to recompose and get myself back on my desired path.

4. Monday is my day to EAT, PRAY and LOVE – Instead of the weekend, I choose Monday evening to be the time where I get to eat whatever I want, relax and enjoy something I love doing like reading my favorite magazines or watch a recorded show:-)

5. Wear an outfit I loveto go to work – This may not work for everyone but putting together a nice outfit to wear for work on Monday mornings excites me and puts me right away in the perfect mood:-)

And about today’s outfit…

Everything I am wearing is old except for the shirt which I got on sale at Gap. I got the inspiration to wear the shirt this way (overlapped and tucked in) from a post created by my friend Rachel from The Daily Luxe (I encourage you to pay her a visit, you will love her blog!). Hope you all like it!
